Hopefully our last night at VCH…

Today was pretty uneventful, but last night was a bit scary.  Emme began rolling her eyes in the back of her head (yes, she’s a girl, but too young for that yet) about 11:00 last night and things just looked a little weird.  Our instinct was that she was tired, and as all played out, we were probably right.  Just in case, she had a CT scan this mornig and earned herself another night in the hospital.  Obviously, when you have been here a week, you get a little weary.

Our day was blessed with more visitors and we are grateful for each.  Everyone who has come to see our sweet baby has been so kind and full of blessings.  If I don’t have the opportunity to thank each one of you again, let me say tonight that I feel the love of God more than ever.  This has been a long, tough week, but we have endured it only by each and every one of you and your thoughtfulness and kindness.

Other than the eyerolling last night, every other aspect of Emme is back to normal.  She is smiling and happy, which makes us happy.  We were really concerned that the surgery might change her loving, sweet personality, but we were wrong.  She’s just as sweet as ever, maybe even more!  Emme’s appetite is still a bit decreased, but she is gradually getting back her hearty appetite.  I’m just happy she’s drinking her formula again.  Tomorrow, we might add back in her fruits and veggies. 

Shannon’s home tonight cleaning the house and preparing for Emme’s arrival.  His Dystonia makes it very hard to sleep in these uncomfortable beds and I am more than happy to stay here.  I hope for a day that he doesn’t have to worry about pain anymore. 

I guess that’s about it tonight.  I will eventually load up some more pictures, but I am beat tonight! 

Blessings,
Melissa
